JACOB BUCKIVIAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HOOD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 11, 1916.

Application filed January 30, 1915. Serial No. 5,298.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB BUCKMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoods,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to hoods for covering the head, and has for its object to produce a hood, of improved construction, a portion of which is adapted to form a collar for a garment and to be folded back in a very smooth and compact form when not in use over the head of the wearer.

Another object is to provide a hood, a part of which forms a collar having the smooth folding feature, and which is also provided with means for covering a pair of goggles for retaining'the latter in place and further protecting the face of the wearer as when riding in an automobile.

Still another object is to provide a foldable hood, a part of which forms a collar, and which is provided with a visor having means for securing the latter in folded position when not in use.

Other objects'will appear as the description proceeds. i

The invention will be first hereinafter described in connection with the accompanying drawings, which constitute apart of this specification, and then more specifically de fined in the claims at the end of the description.

In the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views :Figure 1 is a rear View of one form of hood constructed in accordance with this invention, showing how it may be folded into smooth compact form so as to resemble a sailor collar, when not in use as a head covering. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same hood as it appears when used to cover the head. Fig. 3 is a front view of another form of hood having a visor like a golf cap and equipped with foldable flaps or coverings for the face or a pair of goggles. Fig. 4: is a rear view of the hood illustrated in Fig. 3. showing how it looks when folded back. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the face coverings or flaps. Fig. 6 is a front view of still another style of hood as it appear when worn on the head. Fig. 7 is a rear View of the same, and Fig. 8 is a rear view of the last style of hood, showing how it appears when folded.

Referring first to Figsxl and 2, 1 desig irites a hood which is made generally in the shape of a sailor collar but of double thickness of material so that it may be opened, as shown in Fig. 2, to form a covering for the head. The corner portions 2 of the hood when folded back like a sailor collar, are turned down on a transverse fold, as illustrated in Fig. 2, when the hood is placed on the head. These corner portions maybe provided with supplemental snap fasteners 3 and at for securing them in the position shown in Fig. 2, so that they will retain the hood in proper shape while it is being worn on the head and will give a very pleasing appearance. Part of the hood 1 forms the colla-r 6 of the coat, and is permanently attached to the latter as at 7. The collar is provided with forward extensions to be secured under the chin of the wearer, as at 8, thereby holding the front edge of the hood closely around the face, said forward edge of the hood being slightly gathered, as at 5, to further this result.

' As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4c, the hood 9 there shown is of the golf cap type having a visor 10. Forward extensions 11 are adapted to be secured under the chin for retaining the hood in proper position on the head. l Vhen folded back, as shown in Fig. 4, the visor 10 may be held down flat by means of a snap fastener 12.

'Flaps or coverings 13 for the face are illustrated in connection with the hood 9, but it will be understood that they may be used on any of the other types of hoods illustrated and described herein. These flaps 13 have openings 14 for the eyes to look through, and are provided with tabs 15 stitched or otherwise secured to the side portions of the front edge of the hood. Said flaps are also provided with tabs 16 at their free ends to be detachably connected together by snap fasteners or the like for holdin g them in position when worn. Upwardly projecting tabs 17 extend up under the visor and help to retain said flaps in position. lVhen not in use, the flaps 13 may be unbuttoned at 16 and rebuttoned at the sides of the hood where they will be securely held.

Figs. 6, 7 and 8 illustrate another style of foldable hood shaped like a stocking cap. This hood 18 has its front edge slightly gathered with elastic, as at 19, to hold it close around the face, and is also provided with front extensions 20 to be fastened together under the chin. When this hood is folded back, as illustrated in Fig. 8, it gives a very neat appearance resembling a collar rate piece to be detachably connected to a coat collar or coat.

It will also be understood that in either case, my combined collar and hood does not mar the set of the lapels or the appearance of the coat when viewed from the front, when'the hood is in a folded position either inside or outside of the coat.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the United States is 1. A hood made of double thickness of material to lie flat in the form of a sailor collar when folded and not in use, and to be opened for covering the head, and separable fastening means for retaining the corner portions of the folded hood in transverse turneddown folds when used as a covering for the head.

2. A hood made of double thickness of material to lie flat in the form of a sailor collar when folded and not in use, and to be opened for covering the head, separable fastening means for retaining the corner portions of the folded hood in transverse turned down folds when used as a head covering, forward extensions on the hood, and separable fastening means on said extensions for connecting them below the chin of the wearer.

3. The combination with a foldable hood, of flaps permanently secured to the side por tions of the front edge of the hood and having separable fastening means on their free ends for securing said free ends together for protecting the face of the wearer.

4:. The combination with a foldable hood,

of flaps permanently secured to the side portions of the front edge of the hood each flap having an eye space, andmeans for fastening the free ends of the flaps together for the purpose specified.

5. The combination with a foldable hood, of flaps secured to the side portions of the front edge of the hood and having upwardly extending tabs to extend up and be held below the top portion of said front edge of the hood, and means for fastening the free ends of the flaps together over the nose of the wearer.

6. A foldable hood having a visor, and

separable fastening means near the edge of s JACOB BUCKMAN.
